Not psychiatrists

The coverage of the death of a violent, disturbed Cal State San Bernardino "student," Bartholomew Williams, was the most biased account I have read in months.

Is the reader expected to believe that CSUSB police officers should become psychiatrists who must treat unpredictable bi-polar "student" behavior with kid gloves, and dispense anti-psychotic medications to all who need them? Absurd.

Williams was twice looking for trouble before confronting officers, who were assaulted, kicked and maced by Williams before they respond with gunfire. Officer action was justified, and given the circumstances, no judge, magistrate, grand jury or citizen with any common sense would conclude otherwise.

Now, as for civil rights violation complaints suggested by L.A.C.R.A. activist Eddie Jones, the circumstances do not reflect the outrage.

Sadly, a human is dead, but civility is a two-way street. Flaunt the law and those who enforce it, and pay the ultimate price. Obey civil law (and the rights of others), and it will serve you. Teach your children this lesson.

I suggest journalists investigate all facts and present them responsibly in the future.
